Jeon Somi’s agency will remove an animated character from the music video of one of her latest songs after viewers accused it of plagiarism.The video in question comes from the visual accompaniment for the South Korean singer’s single ‘Fast Forward’ – the lead track of her new EP ‘Game Plan’. The track and music video both debuted on Monday (August 7).Following its release, some viewers have pointed out how the character in the original video resembles the artwork style of Japanese cartoonist, Rumiko Takahashi and her characters illustrated in the manga series Urusei Yatsura (1978-87).The artist is also most widely recognised for her fantasy romance series, InuYasha, which ran between 1996 and 2008.In the music video for ‘Fast Forward’, it appears as if the character is meant to resemble the 22-year-old singer, however, many highlighted how it was nearly identical to the artwork on the cover of the first volume for Urusei Yatsura – with the main changes only being to the direction the character is facing and the hairstyle (via Koreaboo).Now, Somi’s agency, THEBLACKLABEL, has issued a formal apology in light of the accusations of plagiarism, and insisted that they “deeply apologise” for the parallels between the characters.“We have reviewed the issue as soon as we were made aware of the criticisms that the animation within ‘Fast Forward’ reminds viewers of a character from another animation,” the agency said in a press release yesterday (August 9, via Korea JoongAng Daily).“We have decided to delete and change the scenes at issue.

24.07.2023 - 20:13 / nme.com
Jackass co-stars – watch it below.In 2021, Margera entered a one-year drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. He previously told Steve-O that his descent into alcoholism was in part due to his obsession with HIM frontman Ville Valo.Fellow Jackass star Steve-O recently expressed his concern for Margera, saying he’s “ tried everything I can” to help. Speaking to NME this year, he then said he “would love to hear something encouraging” on Margera’s health.On the single ‘Feel Like Bam’ by rappers Cult Shotta and Tanboymiguel, Margera challenges Johnny Knoxville to a fight and hits out at Wee Man, Steve-O and Jackass director Jeff Tremaine.The former skateboarder uses his verse to rap about how bad his former Jackass co-stars are at skateboarding and then he blames Johnny Knoxville for ruining his skateboarding career and challenges him to a fight.“I had to take a lesson from the darkness,” he raps at one point, continuing: “Knoxville, he’s going to be there, so find out if he has the stuff to find out when I’m going to fuck you up.”He then goes on to ask Knoxville to “step into the ring” and despite professing his love for Steve-O, then concludes: “Man, fuck ‘em all'”.Watch the video below.Earlier this year the stunt performer said that he was “basically pronounced dead” after developing seizures and contracting a blood infection, and was arrested for domestic violence in March after a woman claimed that he kicked her.He was then placed on involuntary psychiatric hold by police last month after his family raised concerns over his whereabouts.Over the past year, Margera has been involved in numerous public incidents.
